Congratulations to the winners of the Pulp Ark Awards. Top-notch talent one and all.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

2016 PULP ARK NEW PULP AWARD WINNERS ANNOUNCED! AWARDS TO BE PRESENTED IN LITTLE ROCK, AR, JUNE 11!

Pulp Ark, a Convention within a Convention (River City Comic Expo), announces today the winners of the 2016 Pulp Ark New Pulp Awards. These awards honor the best writers, artists, and works in New Pulp today with a vote that is open to public nomination, then a public vote on the nominees in eight categories.

"The process," says Tommy Hancock, Coordinator of Pulp Ark and the Awards, "took a tad longer this year. We saw a massive increase in participation over last year, which is fantastic, but also meant more vetting of the ballots had to be done and more care had to be taken to insure all ballots were valid and results accurate. The winners represent at least 10 publishing houses represented by the various creators carrying home Pulp Ark Awards this year. Congratulations to all winners and each nominee for the 2016 Pulp Ark New Pulp Awards!"

The Ruby Files debuts with a free preview e-book!

Atlanta GA –Bobby Nash and Sean Taylor are so convinced you’ll love their new book The Ruby Files that they’re giving you part of it for free. Yes, free.

“Airship 27 is going out of its way to make this book an excellent jumping on point for fans of action and adventure and guns and gumshoes,” says co-creator Sean Taylor: “This is the first time the company has offered a free preview, and Bobby and I are thrilled to be able to provide it to you. We both think The Ruby Files is a fantastic book, and we’re willing to give part of it away just to prove it to you.”

You can snag your free copy of The Ruby Files preview PDF at http://www.taylorverse.com/Rick%20Ruby%20Preview%20Edition.pdf

Says co-creator Bobby Nash: "I'm excited to introduce Rick Ruby and his bevvy of beautiful ladies to the world. Sean Taylor and I had a blast creating Ruby's world and all who inhabit it. This volume contains four exciting stories from four incredible creators. Crack open The Ruby Files. It's a wild ride."

It was the 1930s, and America was locked in the grip of the Great Depression. Gangsters controlled the major cities while outlaws roamed the rural back country. It was a time of speakeasy gin-joints, Tommy guns, fast cars and even faster dames. This is the world of New York based Private Investigator Rick Ruby, a world he is all too familiar with. From the back alleys of Gotham to the gold laden boulevards of Hollywood, Ruby is the shamus with a nose for trouble and an insatiable appetite for justice. So if you’ve got a taste for hot lead and knuckle sandwiches, tug your cuffs, adjust your fedora and light up a Lucky, a brand new pulp detective is coming your way.

Created by pulp masters, Bobby Nash and Sean Taylor, Rick Ruby echoes the tales of Sam Spade and Philip Marlowe while offering up his own brand of two-fisted action. Joined by fellow pulp smiths Andrew Salmon and William Patrick Maynard, these modern scribes of purple prose present a quartet of tales to delight any true lover of private eye fiction. This instant classic features a gorgeous Mark Wheatley cover and eight evocative black and white illustrations by Rob Moran.

The Ruby Files hearkens back to the classic black and white Warner Brothers gangster movies that featured James Cagney, Humphrey Bogart and Edward G. Robinson (to name a few). The atmosphere pure noir, gritty with a no-nonsense hero pulp fans are going to applaud from the first story to the last. And when that last tale comes to a close, you can bet we haven’t seen the last of Rick Ruby, Private.
